The northbound Richardson Highway overpass construction is progressing well, with the southbound overpass also seeing progress. Embankments and abutments are being worked on, and precast concrete panels have been set in place. Girders and the bridge will be installed in the coming weeks.
With work beginning the last week of April, the northbound Richardson Highway overpass is making progress and is far enough ahead in the work that the southbound overpass has begun to see progress made as well. The overpass project continues at a good pace. So far, the embankments made of earthen material are high enough to begin work on other parts of the overpass, including the abutments for the bridge that will sit over the train tracks.
"In addition, the precast concrete panels have been set in place along with mechanically stabilized earth behind them," said John Perreault, information officer for the Dept. of Transportation. Girders are expected to be put in place in the coming weeks, followed by the bridge itself
